Music Victoria Launches Women's Leadership Program

The Victorian Government in partnership with Music Victoria announces a new women-only leadership program ‘Cultivate’ for industry professionals who wish to take the next step in their career

Music Victoria in partnership with the Victorian Government has announced the commencement of a new leadership program, ‘Cultivate’, aimed at mid-career and established women in the Victorian music industry who wish to further their leadership and management skills. Supported by the Victorian Government, the ‘Cultivate’ program aims to foster the development of some of the state’s key decision makers, business owners, and industry leaders within the music sector, by partnering them up with CEOs, senior role holders and experienced mentors to support and guide the advancement of their careers. Participants will also be engaged in personalised leadership training programs, group masterclasses and networking opportunities.

The ‘Cultivate’Program is excited to be taking its first ever applicants for their 2019 pilot program intake. The program is open to Victorian residents who identify as a woman and currently hold leadership or management positions at their place of employment within the contemporary music sector. ‘Cultivate’ is a great opportunity for women who are already on the path to influential decision-making roles in music to be mentored by recognised industry leaders and professionals in a similar field. Successful applicants will attend prepared induction and launch sessions, master classes and one-on-one mentorship meetings to identify, plan and implement upskilling opportunities and key developmental areas.
